Shah Rukh Khan as Hero: A Bollywood Career in a Song ("Ae Aa O", Billu)

Bollywood hero Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) became an instant superstar the moment he drove his motorcycle macho onto the screen in 1992's Deewana.

Nearly two decades later, the item number "Ae Ao O" from the film Billu (2009) features a celebration of the character Samir Khan, a Bollywood superstar, played by SRK. To exemplify the stardom and film career of the on-screen character, clips from SRK's films flash quickly on screen.

After watching all of these films (multiple times) and with a little help from the PlanetSRK community, each of the clips have been identified with information about the character, item number or scene. And, for a few of the film clips, I've added a little personal commentary.
